I'd say this is basically a question what you expect your system to  
do. As this is a fanless Mini-ITX system with a 1Gig C7 CPU standing  
in my living room and being idle 90% of the time, I expect to have low  
noise and low power consumption while this system delivers acceptable  
performance for my personal use (PostgreSQL, postfix/cyrus imapd with  
amavis, apache, bacula, etc...). Also this system has an integrated  
padlock chip which makes it ideal as an VPN gateway running OpenVPN.

Still making the system 10% "less lame" by using some optimization  
levels in compilation at no extra cost is something I certainly won't  
leave aside :-).

On the other hand, why you want to optimzie the hell out of a 4-way  
8-Gig Operton server or the like, for normal services you want feel  
too much difference here, because it is fast as hell anyway.

So, to sum it up, it's a point of view an expectations you have - no  
general answer possible.

Jan
